St. Louis played their home games at the Anheuser-Busch Center in nearby Fenton, Missouri. The team's colors are green, white and yellow. The team began the season coached by Claude Anelka, the older brother of French international striker Nicolas Anelka, but Dale Schilly replaced Anelka as head coach 24 June 2010.
